Looking for some manicure inspiration? Here are some chic nail art ideas to try your hand at

Whether you're looking for some inspiration for your next nail appointment, or you want to try your hand at something new, here are some ideas to screenshot and save for later.

Taking a break from gel nails can be tough, but you can still inject a little bit of fun and personality into your manicure – getting the creative juices flowing in the process.

Some are definitely for the more skilled (see everything by nail artist Betina Goldstein) and some are simple, like mismatched nails.

Don’t have the skills to pull off nail artist Imarni Ashman’s tiny line drawing on the smallest canvas of all time? Stick with mismatched nails in pale pastels or try your hand at a rainbow French tip.

Here are some of the chicest styles I’ve saved on Instagram to attempt.
